Disposable wearing article
Abstract
A disposable wearing article includes connector sheet strips
used to connect front and rear waist regions of the article which
respectively have proximal sections and flap-like sections. The
proximal sections are fixed to the rear waist region on its inner
surface along zones contiguous to transversely opposite side edges
of the rear waist region and the flap-like sections extend from the
respective zones to the inside of the article in a circumferential
direction. Flexural rigidity of the flap-like sections as measured
in a transverse direction X of the wearing article is set to be
higher than that of the article as measured in regions lying
immediately inside the respective zones which are, in turn,
contiguous to the respective side edges of the article so that a
direction in which the connector sheet strips extend can be easily
reversed.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a disposable wearing
article adapted to be used in the form of, for example, a
disposable diaper, a disposable diaper for incontinent patient, a
disposable diaper cover or disposable training pants.
[0002] As one example of such disposable wearing articles, the
disposable diaper having its front and rear waist regions adapted
to be connected with each other in releasable and refastenable
manner by means of sheet-like fasteners is well known. To be used
with such disposable diaper of well known art, an example of such
fasteners has one end as viewed in a transverse direction of the
diaper is adapted to be permanently attached to any one of the
front and rear waist regions in the vicinity of a side edge of this
waist region. For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 3096152
(PATENT DOCUMENT 1) discloses the invention relating to a
disposable diaper 100 of this type as illustrated by FIGS. 6 and 7
of the accompanying drawings of this specification. The diaper 100
includes sheet-like fastening strips 106. In the case of this
diaper 100 of prior art, transversely opposite side edges 103 of a
front waist region 101 are put flat together with transversely
opposite side edges 104 of a rear waist region 102, then proximal
sections 107 of the respective fastening strips 106 having
respective distal sections provided on inner surfaces thereof with
anchoring layers 105 are put flat together with the transversely
opposite side edges 103 of the front waist region 101 and these
portions put flat together in this manner are integrally bonded
together to form respective joints 108. The front waist region 101
is provided immediately inside the respective joints 108 with
cutoff lines 109a along which the front waist region 101 may be
separated from the rear waist region 102. When the diaper 100 can
be put on the wearer's body in his or her standing position, the
diaper 100 previously formed in the type of pants may be put on the
wearer's body without cutting off the front waist region 101 from
the rear waist region 102. In this case, it is unnecessary to
utilize the fastening strips 106 and these fastening strips 106 may
be left fastened to the front waist region 101 by means of the
anchoring layers 105 to prevent the diaper 100 from getting out its
proper position. When the diaper should be put on the wearer's body
being in side lying position or lying face up, the front waist
region 101 or the fastening strips 106 may be pulled to tear the
diaper 100 along the cutoff lines 109a so that the transversely
opposite side edges of the front waist region 101 may be separated
from the transversely opposite side edges of the rear waist region
102 to obtain the open-type diaper shown by FIG. 7. After such
open-type diaper has been appropriately placed on the wearer's
body, the fastening strips 105 may be fastened to selected
positions on the front waist region 101 by means of the respective
anchoring layers 105.
[0003] In the case of this well known diaper 100 disclosed in
PATENT DOCUMENT 1, the transversely opposite side edges 103 of the
front waist region 101, the transversely opposite side edges 104 of
the rear waist region 102 and the proximal sections 107 of the
respective fastening strips 107 are put flat and bonded together to
form the respective joints 108 while the distal sections of the
respective fastening strips 106 carrying on the inner surfaces
thereof the anchoring layers 105 extend inward from the respective
joints 108 over the front waist region 101 as will be seen in FIG.
6. When it is desired to put such diaper 100 into the form of the
open-type diaper, the fastening strips 106 must be turned around so
that the respective distal sections carrying thereon the anchoring
layers 105 extend outward from the respective joints 108 beyond the
transversely opposite side edges 104 of the rear waist region 102
as seen in FIG. 7. However, in view of the manner in which the
fastening strips 106 are bonded to the diaper 100 as illustrated by
FIG. 6, these fastening strips 106 once having been turned around
outward may easily restore the initial positions, i.e., it may be
impossible for these fastening strips 106 to maintain the positions
thereof illustrated by FIG. 7. To deal with such behavior of the
fastening strips 106, if it becomes obvious, a mother intending to
put the diaper 100 on the wearer's body must at least temporarily
hold the fastening strips 106 to prevent these fastening strips 106
from restoring the initial positions thereof before she can
actually put the diaper 100 on the wearer's body. Correspondingly,
handling of the diaper 100 may be accompanied with more or less
trouble.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] In view of the problem as has been described above, it is a
principal object of the present invention to provide a wearing
article including a pair of fastening strips attached thereto so as
to extend inward from transversely opposite side edges of the
article and used to connect front and rear waist regions thereof
with each other so improved that these fastening strips can be
easily turned around so as to extend outward from the transversely
opposite side edges of the article.
[0005] The object set forth above is achieved, according to the
present invention, by an improvement in the disposable wearing
article having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction
orthogonal to each other, the article comprising: a front waist
region; a rear waist region; a crotch region; the regions
respectively having pairs of side edges opposed to each other in
the transverse direction so as to extend in the longitudinal
direction and pairs of front and rear ends opposed to each other in
the longitudinal direction so as to extend in the transverse
direction; one of the front and rear waist regions being provided
with connector sheet strips attached thereto in a vicinity of the
associated one of the pairs of side edges so as to be fastened to
the other waist region in a releasable manner and the one waist
region being formed with gathers repetitively undulating in the
transverse direction between the associated pair of side edges
under contraction of elastic members being stretched in the
transverse direction and attached in such stretched state to the
one waist region.
[0006] The improvement according to the present invention is
characterized by that the connector sheet strips respectively
comprising proximal sections fixed to the one waist region in the
vicinity of the associated pair of side edges on a surface destined
to face the wearer's skin and flap-like sections extending inward
from the proximal sections and provided on respective surfaces
thereof opposed to the inner surface with fastening means adapted
to cooperate with an outer surface of the other waist region
opposed to the inner surface of the one waist region wherein a
flexural rigidity of the flap-like sections as measured in the
transverse direction is set to be higher than a flexural rigidity
of the article as measured in regions defined immediately inside
the proximal sections of the respective connector sheet strips as
viewed in the transverse direction and formed with the gathers.
[0007] In the disposable wearing article according to the present
invention, a flexural rigidity of the flap-like sections as
measured in the transverse direction is set to be higher than a
flexural rigidity of the article as measured in the regions defined
immediately inside the proximal sections of the respective
connector sheet strips and formed with the gathers. Such uniquely
differentiated flexural rigidity ensures that the regions of the
article defined immediately inside the proximal sections of the
respective connector sheet strips easily bow in response to turning
around outward of the flap-like sections in the transverse
direction and allows the flap-like sections to be maintained at the
tuned around positions. Consequentially, it is not apprehended that
the flap-like sections might extend inward again in the transverse
direction and prevent the article from being smoothly put on the
wearer's body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0015] Details of a disposable wearing article according to the
present invention will be fully understood from the description
given hereunder in reference with the accompanying drawings
illustrating disposable diapers as typical embodiment of the
present invention.
[0016] FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing a
disposable diaper 1 for baby generally comprising a chassis 2 and a
bodily fluid absorbent panel 3 as the diaper 1 put on the wearer's
body. The chassis 2 has a crotch region 8, a front waist region 6
defined in front of the crotch region 8 and a rear waist region 7
defined behind the crotch region 8. These regions 6, 7, 8 are
respectively formed by a first sheet, i.e., an outer sheet 5 facing
clothes (not shown) of the diaper wearer and a second sheet, i.e.,
an inner sheet 4 lying on the opposite side of the outer sheet 5
and facing the wearer's skin (not shown). The rear waist region 7
is provided on transversely opposite zones 50 defined immediately
inside transversely opposite side edges 12 with connector sheet
strips 9 each comprising a third sheet prepared separately of the
inner and outer sheets 4, 5. Specifically, these connector sheet
strips 9 are put flat and bonded together with the inner sheet 4 so
as to form the above-defined zones 50 at a plurality of bonding
spots 13 arranged intermittently in the vertical direction as
viewed in FIG. 1 along the respective zones 50. Each of the
connector sheet strips 9 is relatively long in the vertical
direction as viewed in FIG. 1 and has inner and outer surfaces 9a,
9b. A loop member 16 constituting a mechanical fastener widely
known in various trade names such as Magic Tape is attached to the
inner surface 9a using appropriate adhesive or welding technique.
The front waist region 6 is provided in the vicinity of
transversely opposite side edges 11 with a hook member 17
constituting the mechanical fastener. Specifically, the hook member
17 is attached to the outer sheet 5 using appropriate adhesive or
welding technique. In this way, the loop members 16 cooperate with
the hook members 17 to function as fastening means so that the
front waist region 6 and the rear waist region 7 may be connected
with each other in releasable manner by means of the connector
sheet strips 9 as these loop and hook members 16, 17 are placed
upon each other. It should be noted here that FIG. 1 shows the
front and rear waist regions 6, 7 connected with each other on the
right hand but still not connected with each other on the left
hand. Upon complete connection of the front and rear waist regions
6, 7 with each other, the diaper 1 is formed with a waist-hole 18
and a pair of leg-holes 19.
[0017] Each of the connector sheet strips 9 comprises a proximal
section 51 fixed to the associated zone 50 of the rear waist region
7 and a deformable flap-like section 52 extending inward as viewed
in the transverse direction from the proximal section 51 toward a
center line C-C bisecting a width of the front waist region 6. With
respect to the connector sheet strip 9 on the right hand in FIG. 1,
the proximal section 51 bonded integrally to the associated zone 50
projects outward from the diaper 1 and the flap-like section 52
extends inward from the proximal section 51 in the transverse
direction of the front waist region 6. A distal end of the
flap-like section 52 defines a finger-grip 54.
[0018] The diaper 1 further includes a plurality of waist elastic
members 20 extending in a circumferential direction of the
waist-hole 18 and a plurality of leg elastic members 19a extending
in a circumferential direction of the respective leg-holes 19.
Contraction of these elastic members causes the chassis 2 to form
gathers 66, 67 extending in a direction orthogonal to these elastic
members 20, 19a, respectively, and repetitively undulating along
these elastic members 20, 19a, respectively. In other words, the
gathers 66 repetitively undulate in the transverse direction
indicated by a double-headed arrow X of the diaper 1 while the
gathers 67 repetitively undulate in the circumferential direction
of the respective leg-holes 19.
[0019] FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing the
diaper 1 of FIG. 1 with the front and rear waist regions 6, 7
disconnected from each other and developed in the transverse
direction indicated by the double-headed arrow X as well as in the
longitudinal direction indicated by a double-headed arrow Y which
is orthogonal to the direction of the double-headed arrow X
insomuch as the gathers 66, 67 do not completely disappear. The
direction X corresponds also to a direction of a waist line. The
chassis 2 has a pair of transversely opposite side edges 10
extending in the longitudinal direction. Transversely opposite side
edges 10 includes a front pair of edges 11 defined by transversely
opposite side edges of the front waist region 6 and a rear pair of
transversely opposite side edges 12 defined by transversely
opposite side edges of the rear waist region 7. A width between the
front pair of transversely opposite side edges 11 is narrower than
a width between the rear pair of transversely opposite side edges
12. Of the transversely opposite side edges 10, a central pair of
transversely opposite side edges 28 defined by transversely
opposite side edges of the crotch region 8 curve from the outside
to the inside of the chassis 2 so as to describe circular arcs. The
waist elastic members 20 attached in stretched state to the chassis
2 so as to extend along a front end 26 and a rear end 27. The waist
elastic members 20 comprise at least a single first elastic member
21a for the front waist region 6 extending in stretched state
between the front pair of side edges 11, 11 and at least a single
first elastic member 21b for the rear waist region 7 extending in
stretched state between the rear pair of rear side edges. The waist
elastic members 20 further comprise a plurality of second elastic
members 22a for the front waist region 6 and a plurality of second
elastic members 22b for the rear waist region 7 both pairs laid
below the respective first elastic members 21a, 21b and above the
central pair of side edges 28 of the crotch region 8 so as to
extend in stretched state between the front pair of side edges 11,
11 and between the rear pair of side edges 12, 12, respectively. In
a preferred diaper 1, the respective first elastic members 21a, 21b
having a stretch stress higher than that of the respective second
elastic members 22a, 22b in order to ensure that the respective
first elastic members 21a, 21b are held in contact with the
wearer's waist more tightly than the respective second elastic
members 22a, 22b are. It is possible for the diaper 1 to use
elastic members exhibiting an identical stretch stress as the
respective first elastic members 21a, 21b as well as the respective
second elastic members 22a, 22b or to use elastic members
exhibiting stretch stresses different from each other as the
respective first elastic members 21a, 21b or to use elastic members
exhibiting stretch stresses different from each other as the
respective second elastic members 22a, 22b. It is also possible for
the diaper 1 to dispense with the second elastic members 22aand/or
the second elastic members 22b. The leg elastic members 19a are
attached in stretched state to the chassis 2 along the central pair
of side edges 28 of the crotch region 8. These waist elastic
members 20 and leg elastic members 19a are sandwiched between the
inner and outer sheets 4, 5 and intermittently bonded to at least
one, preferably to both of these inner and outer sheets 4, 5. The
connector sheet strips 9 have the proximal sections 51 fixed to the
zones 50 defined immediately inside the rear pair of side edges 12
and the flap-like sections 52 extending from the inside to the
outside of the diaper 1 as viewed in the transverse direction
X.
[0020] The bodily fluid absorbent panel 3 comprises a
liquid-pervious topsheet 32, a liquid-impervious backsheet 33 and a
bodily fluid absorbent core 34 sandwiched between these two sheets
32, 33. The top- and backsheets 32, 33 have portions extending
outward beyond a peripheral edge of the core 34, these portions
being put flat and bonded together using appropriate adhesive or
welding technique. Such bodily fluid absorbent panel 3 is provided
along transversely opposites with a pair of leak-proof barriers 36
preferably made of liquid-impervious sheets. Each of the leak-proof
barriers 36 is bonded to the topsheet 32 at front and rear end
sections 37, 38 and along an outer side edge 39 but left free from
the topsheet 32 so far as an inner side edge 41 is concerned. To
this inner side edge 41, an elastic member 42 extending in the
longitudinal direction Y is attached in stretched state. The
leak-proof barriers 36 constructed in such manner effectively form
a pair of pockets 43 adapted to receive bodily fluid moving on the
topsheet 32 in the transverse direction. The backsheet 33 of the
bodily fluid absorbent panel 3 is bonded to the inner sheet 4 of
the chassis 2 by means of hot melt adhesive (not shown).
[0021] In the case of such diaper 1, both the inner sheet 4 and the
outer sheet 5 are formed by nonwoven fabric, film or composite
sheet consisting of these nonwoven fabric and film laminated one
upon another, in any case, preferably containing therein
thermoplastic polymer as essential ingredient. The topsheet 32 of
the bodily fluid absorbent panel 3 is formed by nonwoven fabric,
perforated film or the like made of thermoplastic polymer. The
backsheet 33 is formed by film, nonwoven fabric, composite sheet
consisting of these film and nonwoven fabric laminated one upon
another, or the like. The core 34 is formed by fluff pulp, a
mixture of fluff pulp and super-absorbent polymer particles, or the
like, in any case, compressed to a desired thickness and preferably
wrapped with sheet material having high liquid-permeability and
high liquid-diffusivity such as tissue paper. The connector sheet
strip 9 is formed by nonwoven fabric or film, composite sheet
consisting of these nonwoven fabric and film laminated one upon
another, or the like, in any case, preferably containing therein
thermoplastic polymer as essential ingredient. A preferred
connector sheet strip 9 has a basis weight in a range of 15 to 200
g/m.sup.2.
[0022] FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along a line III-III in
FIG. 1 wherein the line III-III extends across one of the zones 50
including the bonding spots 13 in parallel to the second elastic
members 22a as will be seen in FIG. 1. Preferred bonding spots 13
are formed by thermoplastic polymer contained in any one of the
inner sheet 4, the outer sheet 5 and the connector sheet strip 9 as
these three sheet materials 4, 5 and 9 are heated under a pressure.
More specifically, during this process, the thermoplastic polymer
is molten and then solidified to weld these three sheet materials.
In this way, the film-like bonding spots 13 are formed.
Alternatively, the bonding spots 13 may be formed also by bonding
the inner sheet 4, the outer sheet 5 and the connector sheet strip
9 together, for example, using hot melt adhesive or, instead of
arranging the bonding spots 13 arranged intermittently in the
vertical direction as viewed in FIG. 1, these bonding spots 19 may
be implemented in the other manners, for example, so as to extend
in the vertical direction as viewed in FIG. 1 in parallel to the
rear pair of side edges 12. As will be apparent from FIG. 3,
longitudinally opposite ends of the second elastic members 22b fir
the rear waist region as well as longitudinally opposite ends (not
shown) of the first elastic member 21b for the rear waist region
extend into the zones 50 defined immediately inside the rear pair
of side edges 12 in which the bonding spots 13 are formed. In
regions 60 defined immediate inside the respective zones 50, the
rear waist region 7 is formed with the gathers 66 along these zones
50 (See FIG. 2).
[0023] In the connector sheet strip 9 shown by FIG. 3, the
flap-like section 52 extends inward from the one of the zones 50 of
the rear waist region 7 toward the inside of the diaper 1 as viewed
in the transverse direction. From this state, the flap-like section
52 may be pulled with the finger-grip 54 held by the fingers so as
to be rotated in a direction indicated by an arrow P to disengage
the loop member 16 on the flap-like section 52 from the hook member
17 on the front waist region 6 and thereby to disconnect the rear
waist region 7 from the front waist region 6.
[0024] FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3, showing the flap-like
section 52 had been separated from the hook member 17 as shown by
FIG. 3 have been further rotated in the direction P. In regions 60
defined immediately inside the zones 50 of the rear waist region 7
as viewed in the transverse direction, the inner sheet 4, the outer
sheet 5 and the second elastic members 22b forming together the
rear waist region are bonded one another intermittently in the
transverse direction X and contraction of these second elastic
members 22b for the rear waist region forms the gathers 66
repetitively undulating in the transverse direction X, i.e.,
between the opposite side edges 12, 12. Rigidity which resists
against bending of the flap-like sections 52 in the transverse
direction Z is set to be higher than rigidity which stands against
bending of the regions 60 defined immediately inside the zones 50.
Such uniquely differentiated of the rigidity ensures that the
regions 60 defined immediately inside the respective zones 50,
formed with the gathers 66 and having relatively low rigidity can
easily bow as the flap-like sections 52 are turned around in the
direction P. Consequentially, even the finger-grips 54 are out of
the fingers after the flap-like sections 52 have been turned around
so as to extend from the inside to the outside in the transverse
direction X as shown, these flap-like sections 52 are able to
maintain such state turned around outward. Such state of the
flap-like sections corresponds to the state thereof as seen in FIG.
2.
[0025] When the diaper 1 is put on a baby in side lying position or
face-up position, the flap-like sections 52 of this diaper 1 can be
easily turned around outward in the transverse direction of the
diaper 1 under the influence of the regions 60 defined immediately
inside the respective zones 50. Consequentially, it is ensured that
the finger-grips 54 of the respective flap-like sections 52 can be
easily caught by the fingers in comparison with the case of the
well known diaper 1 of which the flap-like sections 52 continue to
extend inward in the transverse direction of the diaper.
[0026] FIG. 5 is a fragmentary view showing one preferred
embodiment of the diaper 1 according to the present invention. This
alternative embodiment of the diaper 1 similar to the previously
described embodiment of the diaper 1 so far as the flap-like
section 52 is dimensioned identically to that in the diaper 1
previously described in reference with FIG. 2 but distinguished
from the previous described diaper 1 in that the loop member 16 is
attached to the associated flap-like section 52 so as to extend in
the longitudinal direction Y over the entire area of the flap-like
section 52. Compared to the case in which the loop member 16 has a
dimension as measured in the longitudinal direction Y is smaller
than that of the flap-like section 52 in the corresponding
direction as in the connector sheet strips 9 shown by FIG. 2, a
larger area exhibiting high rigidity is obtained. This arrangement
advantageously further facilitates the flap-like sections 52 to be
turned around outward in the transverse direction of the diaper
1.
[0027] Without departing from the scope of the invention, it is
possible to attach the connector sheet strips 9 of FIG. 1 not to
the rear waist region 7 but to the front waist region 6 so that the
gathers 66 formed by the front waist region 6 may facilitate the
flap-like sections 52 to be turned around outward in the transverse
direction of the diaper 1. It is also possible without departing
from the scope of the invention to attach the loop member 16 to the
front waist region 6 and to attach the hook members 17 to the
associated connector sheet strip 9 vice versa with respect to the
embodiment shown by FIG. 1. It is further possible without
departing from the scope of the invention to provide on the inner
surfaces 9a of the respective flap-like sections 52 with
pressure-sensitive adhesive layers serving as fastening means to
the front waist region 6 and to provide the outer sheet 5 of the
front waist region 6 with a target zone onto which those
pressure-sensitive adhesive layers can be releasably anchored.
[0028] While the diaper 1 for baby has been described in reference
with the accompanying drawings, the present invention may be
implemented also in the various forms, for example, of disposable
diaper for adult, disposable diaper for incontinent patient and
disposable diaper comprising the bodily fluid absorbent core 34,
instead of the bodily fluid absorbent panel 3, sandwiched between
the liquid-pervious inner sheet 4 and the liquid-impervious outer
sheet 5. Furthermore, the present invention may be implemented in
the form of training pants, diaper cover or wearing article used to
hold a urine retention pad both without the bodily fluid absorbent
panel 3, or the like.
[0029] The present invention makes it possible to manufacture the
disposable wearing article requiring no troublesome handling to put
it on the wearing body.
